General Manager of Transport and Harbours Department (T&HD) Marclene Merchant should take full responsibility for the mishap of the MV Sabanto ferry, which ran aground in November last year, according to the Amalgamated Transport and General Workers Union, which also says the vessel does not have a working compass or GPS.
The union, in a statement, said it was Merchant who appointed an “uncertified employee” to work as captain on the Sabanto on September 1, 2014
